Is No Nonsense Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 100/100No Nonsense has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The "no-nonsense" v3.6.5 plugin exhibits a strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The complete absence of AJAX handlers, REST API routes, shortcodes, and cron events, especially those unprotected by authentication, signifies a minimal attack surface. Furthermore, the code demonstrates excellent output escaping practices, with 100% of outputs properly handled, and the absence of dangerous functions, file operations, and external HTTP requests further bolster its security. The plugin also incorporates nonces and capability checks, which are fundamental security mechanisms. The vulnerability history is also clean, with no recorded CVEs, indicating a history of secure development or a lack of past exploitation, which is a positive sign. The taint analysis also reveals no unsanitized flows, reinforcing the impression of well-secured code. The only area that could be improved is the use of prepared statements for SQL queries, as all queries currently lack this security measure. Despite this one area for improvement, the plugin's overall security is commendable.
